The appearance of an auroral cavity in the ionosphere in the FAC outflow region is examined. Collisionless effects connected with the formation of electrostatic potential jumps lead to the formation of a sharp boundary dividing the regions of cold ionospheric plasma and hot rarefied magnetospheric plasma. A gasdynamic description of the further evolution of the structure in the direction longitudinal with respect to the magnetic field is presented. This evolution consists in the formation of a collection of different types of discontinuities in relative motion.
